While on the road today this one came on the radio and immediately knew that I had my pick for the day. There is something almost magical about the Motown sound mixed with the beautiful voices of Diana Ross & the Supremes; just an amazing track.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is a performance of the song on YouTube.

6961. Explorers Club - Raising the Mammoth 2: AKA Prog-o-matic - Gigantipithicus

-
Image
From: Raising the Mammoth ; Year: 2002; Genre: Progressive Metal/Symphonic Metal  This will be the last Explorers Club song I will be picking; only because I have already chosen ever other song from the band/project. Oh well, still got material from Trent Gardner's main band, Magellan to choose from.  This is the epic 21 minute instrumental extravaganza that closes this concept record out; an excellent piece to do so, indeed.    Hear the full album on YouTube. (Part 2 starts just after the 38 minute mark)        My song pick 1 year ago today: Red Rider - Power (Strength in Numbers)     My song pick 2 years ago today: Billy Squier - The Stroke     My song pick 3 years ago today: Marcus Miller - Be My Love   My song pick 4 years ago today: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)   My song pick 5 years ago today: Toad The Wet Sprocket - Something's Always Wrong   My song pick 6 years ...

6960. Spacehog - Spacehog

-
Image
From: Resident Alien ; Year: 1995; Genre: Glam Rock Another day of choosing a track that was on my mind; at least I am not picking one in memorandum of a recently deceased artist. (Knock on wood) Here's the song of the band's namesake from their debut studio album. I can only think of a couple of bands that wrote a song named after themselves....     Hear Spacehog on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Bruce Springsteen - The Promised Land     My song pick 2 years ago today: Klaatu - Anus of Uranus     My song pick 3 years ago today: Rockwell - Obscene Phone Caller   My song pick 4 years ago today: Zebrahead - Playmate of the Year   My song pick 5 years ago today: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Mideast Vacation   My song pick 6 years ago today: Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy   My song pick 7 years ago today: Dream Theater - Falls Into the Light   My song pick 8 years ago today: Quarterflash - Nig...

6962. The Grateful Dead - We Can Run

-
Image
From: Built to Last ; Year: 1989; Genre: Country Rock Dang, another month is now over; October is always positive, or at least I can hope. Had the 'Dead on my mind for most of yesterday, so I figured I should pick another one from the band, which is one I have always enjoyed. This one, which was written by late keyboardist Brent Mydland and long-time 'Dead collaborator/poet John Barlow, also features Mydland on lead vocals has a message and feel similar to the Earth movement back in the 1960/70s with more of a '90s production and sound indicative of them and their music of the era. Of course, this was also the Grateful Dead's "swansong" studio album; Brent Mydland passed away less than a year later.   Hear We Can Run on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: King Crimson - The Great Deceiver     My song pick 2 years ago today: Geddy Lee - Gone     My song pick 3 years ago today: Tommy Roe - Dizzy   My song pick 4 years ago tod...

2959 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 225 - Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied

-
Image
BWV 225 ; Year: 1727; Genre: Baroque Period/classical I made it another year with this pick today. Back in 2007 on this day I started this blog on a social site called MySpace and in '09 I moved it here; it's getting hard to believe that I've been at this for eight years now. Anywho, this is an extremely beautiful motet piece for eight voices, and there's a good chance you've hear the melody to this song; it's quite memorable. Hear BWV 225 performed by Orquesta de La Chapelle Royale; conducted byPhilippe Herreweghe on YouTube. My song pick one year ago today: 2590 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1077 - Canone doppio sopr'il soggetto My song pick two years ago today: 2218 Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 996 - Suite in E-Minor My song pick three years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV. 1051 - Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-Flat My song pick four years ago today: Johann Sebastian Bach - BWV 1049 - Brandenburg Concerto No.4 in G major My song...

-
Image
From: Cloudcuckooland ; Year: 1989; Genre: Pop/Alternative Rock Pure is another song that I cannot remember the last time I heard it, but it just happened to pop into my mind nevertheless. It's one of those catchy tunes that will stay with you, but not to the point that it'll play without ceasing, driving you nuts along the way.    Hear Pure on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Quarterflash - Find Another Fool   My song pick 2 years ago today: Dire Straits - Solid Rock   My song pick 3 years ago today: J Rocc - Cold Heat Megamix   My song pick 4 years ago today: Marshall Crenshaw - You're My Favorite Waste of Time   My song pick 5 years ago today: Scorpions - Dancing With the Moonlight   My song pick 6 years ago today: The Surfaris - Point Panic My song pick 7 years ago today: The Temptations - Masterpiece My song pick 8 years ago today: Yes - A Venture My song pick 9 years ago today: Pearl Jam - Dissent My song ...

-

From: Wicked Wonderland ; Year: 2009; Genre: Metal Just been in a mood today and felt like something from Lita Ford for some reason. Apparently she has stated her dislike for this entire album for wotever reason, but I like the extra heaviness and her amazing shredding on the guitar.     Hear Betrayal on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Midnight Oil - Read About It     My song pick 2 years ago today: Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge - Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends     My song pick 3 years ago today: Meat Loaf - Hot Patootie -- Bless My Soul   My song pick 4 years ago today: Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms   My song pick 5 years ago today: Brass Construction - Movin'   My song pick 6 years ago today: Motörhead - Shine   My song pick 7 years ago today: Hawkwind - Chaos Army/Horn of Destiny   My song pick 8 years ago today: Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain My song...
